I guess you don't need this anymore, but yeah, you'd need to edit that function. Just replacing these lines: 
if (lua_gettop(L) >= 1) {
	which = luaL_checkinteger(L, 1);
	if (which <1> 10) {
		luaL_error(L, "invalid player's savestate %d", which);
	}
}

if (which > 0) {
	// Find an appropriate filename. This is OS specific, unfortunately.
	// So I turned the filename selection code into my bitch. :)
	// Numbers are 0 through 9 though.
	filename = GetSavestateFilename(which -1);
}
else {
	filename = tempnam(NULL, "snlua");
}
...with this line: 
filename = luaL_checkstring(L,1);
...should work.

If I were you, I'd modify the emulator to make savestate.create() accept a "filename" argument, so you could have something like savestate.create("saveState/suiko2.pxm.000"). Otherwise, I think you can maybe do something like this: 
saveStateFile = io.open ("saveState/suiko2.pxm.000", "rb")

save = saveStateFile.read(saveStateFile)

-- I don't even know how to write a file in Lua
-- this is just an example :P
loadStateFile = io.open ("sstates/suiko2.pxm.000", "wb")
saveStateFile.write(loadStateFile,save)

CheckPoint = savestate.create(1)
savestate.load(CheckPoint)

while true do
	emu.frameadvance()
end
(I haven't tried it and I haven't worked on Lua for months, but I hope you get the idea. :P)

This TAS only differs from the speedrun in reaction time
Seriously, who really cares if it is too similar to a speedrun which 99% of this site is never going to even watch? We'd have to start rejecting three million of other games which just differ from their speedruns in reaction time, starting with most platform games, our favorite genre. It's kind of sad that we've come to a point where a TAS of minesweeper is more entertaining to watch for us than a TAS of Myst, only because we know that there was "luck manipulation" or other silly things...

Hi, GoddessMaria15. I'll try to be honest with you, I hope you don't get discouraged. I found your WIP mildly boring. All TASes of beat 'em ups are usually boring, even of awesome games like Streets of Rage or Golden Axe. I think the only beat 'em up I ever found entertaining was this one; the sex scenes in that TAS were hilarious. Maybe you could try adding to your run a bit more of sex? Also, I would reconsider your choice of using the SNES version. Besides having better graphics overall and being faster, I think those girls look better when they're nude in the Genesis version: (SNES) (Genesis) Your TAS looks very good technically, but I'd focus more on a playaround instead of just speed. For example, maybe you should make them do something lesbian or something similar? Or instead of killing the enemies outside of the screen, just wait a little more until they can be seen and then try to make some sex jokes with them or something.

Well, this was made by Konami: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjdVflSHxN4. Compare it to this piece of crap or to some of the tracks from that shitty port of Dracula X. :P

I think Steve Snake (author of Kega) summed it up pretty well in a response to byuu (author of bsnes) a few years ago:
Snake wrote:
However you can't compare SNES and Genesis sound. At all. They are very different. Personally, I much prefer a system that allows for decent synthesis and not just samples. I think most musicians would agree.
And I would add, as a programmer, if I want to make cool looking games, I much prefer a system with a much faster processor than just a system with more colors and Mode 7 effects. I guess that's why there's a much richer homebrew community for the Genesis and why most of the homebrew software for the SNES are just hentai slide shows. :P So yeah... Just let Ozmozis01 have his own opinion. He's not the only one in the world who thinks that the SMD has better graphics and sound than the SNES.

If you're comparing processors you're no longer comparing graphical capabilities, imo.
My point was that some technical aspects don't mean a thing in the big picture. It's like saying "The N64 looked much better than the PSX because it could do trilinear filtering, show 500000 polygons per second, had high resolution, a 64-bit CPU, etc etc.", but then most games looked like this: While the PSX had things like this: In the end, you have to weight in every component. And the SNES had a very slow processor compared to the SMD, which resulted in worse graphics (just in my opinion, of course; I know most people prefer DKC graphics over Gunstar Heroes, just because they have thousands of colors.)

That's like saying that Twilight looks better than Citizen Kane because it has color and was recorded with better cameras. In my opinion, Genesis has better graphics thanks to a much faster processor. Just watch the Genesis version of Thunder Force III: the SNES could never make all those beautiful effects at that speed; in fact, the SNES "port" of TF3 (Thunder Spirits) is so slow and awful that it's just unplayable, like most SNES shooters. And what about all the effects of Genesis games like Batman & Robin or any by Treasure or Konami? The SNES would need 3 extra chips to do something like that... Also, that 1-minute track sounds great, but it's just as useful as an static image of a scanned photo. The real fact is that the SNES could never have something as good as this in a real game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLvG-Al6tOg :P

This works fine here: 
while (true) do
	inp = input.get()
	gui.text(25,25,"x:"..inp.xmouse.." y:"..inp.ymouse)
	pcsx.frameadvance()
end
Maybe you've redeclared "input"? EDIT: otherwise, post your full script.

1) Get scph1001.bin and put it inside the "./bios" folder. 2) Configure your Plugins & Bios as follows: *Bios: "scph1001.bin". Don't use the internal bios; it's really buggy and it causes a lot of desyncs when you have the sound enabled.
If you're still having crashes, try using Configuration->Options->Enable Interpreter CPU, but it will go much slower.

I request that you stop uploading new submissions shorter than 10 minutes to YouTube, I've gotten permission from adelikat to upload High Definition uploads to YouTube which are higher quality than yours and am allowed to link to my videos in preference to your uploads. However, I don't encode SNES, PSX, 64 or Saturn based games at this time, those are safe to upload to YouTube still.
Wow... I like how this person always hides behind of "adelikat told me to", "Nach told me to", etc etc. But the best part are those lines like "I request that you stop [...]" and "those are safe to [...]"... Maybe power went way too high into someone's head. And not to say those High Definition uploads are one of the most retarded things I've seen in my life. As for people requesting you to stop uploading their runs, I find it funny that they don't give a shit about the fact that they're illegally using copyrighted ROMs or other people's emulators without ever giving credits or thanks, but they'll quickly start to cry like a raped kid if anyone uses their stuff. Anyway... WebNations, I hope you keep uploading TASes to your YouTube account, I always watch new movies there.

Even when there's no lag I can't advance frame by frame here, it always advance two or three frames at a time. Is there any configuration to correct this?
There IS "lag" if it advances two or three frames at a time; and by "lag", I mean the video screen doesn't get updated in those frames. You can use the hotkey "VSync Advance" instead, but you won't be able to save states between real frames. This limitation should be removed in future versions of PCSX-RR, since I can confirm that this is not needed anymore since the desync fix in v0.1.2.

You can use JoyToKey or Xpadder. @Sir VG: I already answered that question to you many times before: just keep using the plugin that worked for you. The only thing that ever changed was the name of the plugin folder, so make sure you're using the new folder (I explained this to you before in greater detail, too).

The screen space for Lua depends on the game's internal resolution. Your game probably has a resolution of 256*x, while Chrono Cross has 640x480 or something. You can double that screen space if you use any of the graphic filters, such as Scale2x or HQ2X.

It is disabled until someone writes a better implementation, there's nothing you can do about it. For making TASes, you can/should use frame-advance; or, if you really need to change the speed, you can use an older version of FBA-RR.

How to load ROMs in FBA
Your ROMs must be zipped and placed in the ROMs folder of FBA. Once that is done, load FBA and load game. A red strikethrough icon means the game cannot be played. If you try to load a game which cannot be played, it will tell you which ROMs you need. Be warned that there are some ROMs that require extra files than those found in MAME (the Neo-Geo BIOS is a good example). DO NOT ASK US WHERE OR HOW TO FIND ROMS. They are copyrighted and we can't help you.
Short answer: you don't have the correct ROMs for FBA.

It looks like you have "Use FPS limit" enabled in the GPU config. Try following this guide and pay special attention to point 3 in the first step: How to record AVI files with PCSX and .kkapture.

what did POR do?
Since you're asking, here's a list I just made: - He submitted 79 different movies. Each one of them was cancelled. - He asks for a name change once a week. - One time he threatened to leave the community if an admin didn't change his name. - One time he removed all of his WIPs until someone changed his name. - He threw useless and very annoying ideas once and again and again and again and again and again in the PSX-related forums. I was especially annoyed when he usually said we should use ePSXe or the PC version of the games, which didn't have those bugs. - He asked for feedback many times for his Bart Vs. the World TAS, even when his WIPs always were minutes slower than the fastest public WIP by another member. - When people told him he was so much slower because he wasn't jumping all the time (in BvtW), he said something like "I think jumping is unnecessary or slower or something." - He would normally write something about himself in every thread he could, even if it was completely and absolutely unrelated to that thread. - He would normally start insulting anybody in any thread just because he "loses it" or because he feels "highly insulted". - He insulted mmbossman out of nowhere 2 o 3 times. - He sometimes complained in some threads because judges weren't doing their job a bit faster. - He made a logo for encoders where 99% of the screen space was occupied by one of his many names. - He often gave the most stupid reasons for voting NO on some runs, and pissed off a lot of people for that. (Like "I don't know how to run this game, voting NO.") - He would often start his posts with "Not to bump or anything" when he did one of his often bumps, just so his thread could stay on the top of the forum list. - In his submission texts he always said "I want this run to be encoded only by Bisqwit, person x or person y" (for example), instead of just being grateful if anyone took their time to encode one of his movies. Of course, those encoders whose names didn't appear on the list felt really bad. - This is the fifth time he asks for his account to be "completely deleted". - His last name change was "p0rtal_0f_rain". Yeah, "p0rtal_0f_rain". A lot more, but you may get the idea. I will update this post later when I have a bit more of time to finish this.

Yes, it will probably be rejected. The emulation is way too inaccurate and, at that speed, I'm pretty sure it will be impossible to follow what's going on.

Yeah, there are some bugs in PCSX that make every Winning Eleven game run much faster, at least since WE '97 (which shows that Konami has been using the same engine for more than 30 different games). You probably want to TAS one of the Nintendo 64 ISS games, at least ISS 2000 seems to run fine in Mupen. Also, they're much more similar to the SNES games, of course. :P

Wow, that was absolutely amazing! I was laughing all the time. :D This is by far one of the funniest TASes I've seen, along with the current Altered Beast movie (by another Brazilian player, I believe). My favorite parts were those almost-goals by the Argentine team. :P Thanks a lot for making this, I really enjoyed it and now I will show it to some of my friends, who are big fans of this game, too. :D
